MACNAMARA. , • ' In, this, cause. the Loan- CIiANCELI.4 expressed a wish , to hear from tier ComAel d of the Defenciant, their 'opinions on _the exceptidn .as. to the um of eleven:thousand pounds. fie 'felt awa re, hat- fi-om the nature of the _proceedings, it was sorripeient for the Counsel on the . part of the Plaintiff to.have a re-hearing et the cause, if they supposed, the 'ori ginal deert4.: Considering that decree, in his 'own opinion, fullradetfuate,..lie, upon it, did think, that as the estate of the Plaintiff was only made surety for the debt of the brother, John Purcell,. it was naturally it matter , of right that her Otate should be credited with his assets'; - that is, that as much of the- debt .due to IVlactia tram' as was liquidated by the assets of the..brii. , ther, : for so .runch had the present Plaintiff a right upon herestatu to be credited. The Loan CIIAN- = cELLott appeared 'an%ions to hear the, opiniads: of both' parties, but recommended-to-,Mr. Micuarnara!s Counsel to peruse the 1t th exception, and ; con sider whether it was not their interest to 'pander upon ,the:oliservations he felt it his duty to .t lake. Messrs. AGAR and IHOMPSONargued, that 'ac-• cbrdiftg Ao,the decisiori:' of the Cohn, the ream- • mendationnf hiS Lordship was ;not with there. Jr was , true, that the Master-had, in contradiction to the order, introduced the assets of the son, where it was imperative to ascertain those of 'the lather.. But as the Court had over-ruled .that exception, they contended it was. out. of the purview of his Lordship theft to. entertain them. The Loan CHANCELLOR,— , " Upon that point, you, Gentlemen, will set -as you think proper. It is my. wish tthillow an oppottunity, on Saturday next, of hearing argnmenti upon it. If you decline it, I will consider it as the exercise of a sound dis cretion should it be argued I will hear them with attention:" ; IN THE CASE OF SHERIFP, A EANKEUPT. , This Wits an application, made by Mr . MART, upon the part. of the Assigneesi, to obtain an order froth the Court, imperative ; on Mr.: - Ilivington, a respeaable : Solicitor, to give up certain papers, letters, and other documents, calculated to give per lea and additional information with respect to the Bankrupt's estate. It appeared; that Mr. Rivingten was .the Solicitor of the Bankrupt's "littler, who had granted a gua 7 rantee ter his son the Bankrupt. The latter had, with a very small capital, , entered into parteership with a Mr. Sundius, a Gentleman of very extensive wealth, but who had aceeded to the firm• under, the persuasion, that Mr, Sheriff, of Leith,, the fa , ther of the Bankrupt, would secure him against the tniSmaeagetnent of his son. Securities fur that object were rssed and accepted, and, the son had fiited to, a ~considerable amount, viz, 23,0001. A CetinuisOen ,of Bankruptcy was taken out, and the twertion .upon which the present applieatioa was founded was, whether the:Assignees had not a right to every, paper and document of a Bankrupt, although, they bad been, put by him previously into the hands rif the Solicitor of another person •, It was contended by Sir Att7cuutt ,Pitoorr, that if such .a principle, was recognised; the confidential papers of : a • person totally unconneeted with the Bankrupt, in the way et his personal dealings, might beleited upon. In the present case Mr. Riving ton had received them fliom the father of the Bank rupt, for the purpose of defending him in two ac tions' coter,;cneed. byJNlr. Sundius i tthe Assignee, under the alleged guarantee. was still;,wihing to submit them to the inspection of • itny 1X73(11.1 whom the Conti might think proper to appoint, -- The particulars relating to the affairs of the Bank rupt were merely extracted from the original books of the Bankrupt, which were iu the hands of the Assignees, After qt variety of'observations on both sides, his Lordship ordered that Mr. Rivington might he al lowed to make an affidavit as . to the parts of the pa pers which he conceived necessary to his Client's de fence that he might be allowed to take copies of, the extracts from the books conceived by him to be necessary evidence, and that he might have a fUture opportunity to apply to , that Court for the means of 'obtaining the legal evidence of such entries optin the trial. • Mr.*Rivington was ready to accede to any deci sion, empowering him to dojustice to the confidence reposed in him by his Client, the same time that tie was anxious to acquiesce with the wishes of the application.
